From the Business:Baba’s life was one of unity. He lived to unite the different castes and creeds together as one family and unite every person with God. He saw no difference between one religion and another, saying often, “Subka Malik Ek”(One God governs all). he villagers of Shirdi were unaware of the Divine Play taking place as a young, nameless fakir sat under a neem tree on the outskirts of town. Villagers were surprised to see someone so young practicing such hard penances. He had no love for perishable things and self-realization was his sole concern. This saintly boy left Shirdi for four years, his whereabouts unknown. Then, he returned to Shirdi as part of a wedding procession. Upon seeing the fakir, a local Khamdoba priest greeted him, as if divinely inspired, saying “Ya Sai” or “Welcome, Sai.” He never left Shirdi after that and was now known as Sai Baba. An older woman from the village felt such immense love for Sai that she took to him as his mother walking miles into the jungle carrying a basket of food to offer Baba. She often found him under a tree in deep meditation, calm and serene. She would approach her new son boldly as a mother would and serve the food. What would seem to be out of compassion for this woman, Baba moved into a dilapidated mosque in the outskirts of the village. He named this mosque “Dwarkamai.”Read more
